Very cool stuff.
15v15 cross server player battlegrounds?
You think that's cool?
Wow, really? Honestly what sort of games did you play before Tera, because honestly, your expectations are so very very low.
Yeah lol. Have to agree with this. I mean... even SW:TOR had battlegrounds at release. lmao.
Well, the game already has something that other games don't have in terms of PvP, ie factionless open world PvP. I guess battlegrounds are a necessity for those with limited time that want a quick PvP fix in a controlled environment. Personally I don't see how would anyone choose battlegrounds over open world PvP unless:
Not Interested on what Enmasse is adding...
I want unlimited Character Customizations
I want NPC/Merchants selling items properly Labeled on my map.
I want fixes for the UI font size but which they never fixed when I told them about the bug/issue in beta.
I want to be able to use armors as templates not be limited to just what the vendor sales.
I am tired of the go here kill X thing.
I am tired of MMO's with no real story line like TERA!!!
Seriously I believe that U.S game developers need to go back to school for many years to learn how to develop design, and manage a MMORPG. It is too bad there isn't a Law that says all U.S game designers must meet a certificate because if there was I am sure many would fail if they had to have one to operate a game server in the U.S.
I want to see Tera be a successful MMO, however in my eyes Tera is becommnig the next biggest Flop since SWTOR, I was just in Tera, and I saw only one person in the city with me... Not only this but I believe that TSW will be a bigger hit than Tera, and GW2 will alwso pull subs away from Tera.
Bottom line guys you are paying $9.99 for a feature that should be part of our game already 100% free to subscribers minus the weapon skins and other premium services which I don't mind paying for.
If I wanted to pay to customize my character and enjoy a game I wanted I would play Vindictus which costs me $12 for a character customization and I never have to pay a cent or sub fee after that again If I don't want to, with Tera I am paying for their game monthly and they are asking me for more trying to milk the cows more until finally the cows run dry of milk and nothing more to give.
Tera is going to go F2P just watch and see...
who cares if it does? i'd rather play a game for free than pay. you say it like it would be a bad thing.
I wouldnt say my expectations are low ( and since you asked- war, rift, daoc, wow, eve, swtor, lotro, aion...) I'd say im glad to see that TERA is improving. With TERA's combat system I think they can make the generic battleground something alot more epic.

I think that Renoaku was implying that it would reach such a low amount of subs that it would need to become free to play. I do hope this game does not end up like aion, Aion couldve been huge and its sad to see wasted potential in MMO's.

Some gamers do think its a bad thing, but hay its the new catch phrase now days and it looks like almost every company is doing it now days so what ever floats your boat. But that's one cruse ship i'm gonna pass on.

The game you want doesn't exist. Archeage is the closest thing to what you're looking for and that's a long ways off. En Masse also isn't a developer. They are a publisher. TERA is a decent game. It has some nice pvp, and En Masse is doing a good job of working with the developers to get some nice updates. I'm personally a sandbox fan. Even though TERA is a themepark, it is enjoyable. Continue to moan about the 'perfect' game that you desire. Maybe one day you will see it. But chances are, even after you see the game you think you've been waiting for, you still wont be happy. I say this because you've gotta be happy with what you've got.. not what you want.

Since it seems to be inevitable for most theme park games to follow this path I see going F2P as part of their natural evolution and fully expect it to happen to TERA. (And TSW for that matter).

You played daoc ffs! Still imho the most epic of pvp/rvr games ever made and you think a 15vx15 bg is good? Thidranki is more fun that any battleground i've ever played in any game.
All it will be is a hold the flag/capture the flag battleground. There will be a reward involved for sure, so people will be desperate to grind out battlegrounds.
Lets see:
1) Dungeon grind - check
2) Equipment grind - check
3) Crafting grind - check
4) Pvp....well, no real reason to pvp, better put in some sort of grind, battlegrounds!!! Genius! -check!.
5) Cash shop - check
6) Subscription - check.
Hi2U warcraft clone with a targetting mechanic+ asian graphics, but let's face it, you're really just hitting whatever is in front of you. Daocs hard interrupt system absolutely craps all over this in terms of skill needed.
you say you want tera to be a success but you say it is becomming a flop..in europe the servers are packed mostly.apart from 1 low medium server that i saw the other night.not sure how its doin in the states though.even if it goes f2p this game will be fine..yes its a grind but gotta say i love the combat.
Yes, DAOC craps on many games in terms of skill needed but we are talking about TERA update improvements..correct? Being a pvp player, open world pvp in TERA and GVG I think are both a nice breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction, theres so much they can do with it and its already got plenty of people participating in it. Now granted not everyone is a fan of that, battlegrounds will make pvp more flexible, and hopefully if done right- will be an enjoyable skirmish.

ah DOAC, the game is absolute crap untill you are max lvl and are ready to go rvr...PVE content???? NONE.
When you hit max lvl, you party up, buff for about 5 minutes.....run to the battleground for another 10 minutes and then get one shot by "you know what class" just to buff up and run another 10 minutes to the fighting spot.
That's how i expirienced DOAC......hell the best RVR i ever played was WAR (altough it was kind off a zerg fest, i still liked it.).
Kinda typical of the fanboy's of other games to come here and rail against a SINGLE ASPECT of the game, which I might add, is being ADDED(IE tera was already a more-than-decent game, even with all its faults, and they ADDED To it which only expands what it was)
Its kinda funny, you won't hear how shitty the tab-targeting combat is in gw2, BUT if they were to add tera style combat in it, the fanboy's would go ape.
Truth is, I hope tera suceeds, it has faults, sure, but what game does not. The one thing that keeps it going is the combat, which is the reason I was stuck playing DDO so long... Tera is the first game(not counting DCU which isn't really a mmo) that came along that had the 'combat' we wanted.
Nope, its pretty shallow even with that, but that alone is enough to keep me and most others intrested and smiling though a 3 month run.
Its sad though, just gotta keep pointing it out, how when they ADD something, which IMPROVES upon the base of the game, people will start nerd-ragin about how 'its not that good, game-x has done it already' Even if game x, other than that 1 aspect, was a steaming sloppy wet pile of turd. (Looks at SWTOR)
Tittle is not correct imo.
Its not the next update but the so promise big update in next summer.
Because battlegrounds are not improvements. They're the ultimate way to terminate open pvp.
Every single game which had battlegrounds caused open pvp to dissapear. Look at Warcraft,swtor and rift. It's people standing around in teh cpital cities/areas waiting for the next bg to pop.
If you thought open pvp was bad now wait until the bgs kick in, it will be deserted.
EXCEPT that the instanced PVP is only for level 50+
Soooo the world PVP for >50 is entirely uneffected.
And the world PVP as it is right now is extremely alive and kicking, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
YAY for making assumptions!
Lol, this is funny. You never played DAOC, if you claim theres no PVE, and the game is crap till you hit max level. As far as the 15 vs 15 BGs, well there goes the pre release, "OMG the OWPVP is great". It will slowly disappear to nothing, and all you ll see is people waiting for a que.
So you are PRO 60's running around ganking lowbies all day long because they have nothing else to do?
Because you DO know that the Battle grounds are only for level 50+
Meaning the world PVP for a VAST majority of the game is entirely uneffected.
Meaning your assumption is extremely flawed.
At first it won t happen, but if you think they won t release BGs for other levels, down the road, you re fooling yourself.
Thats a nice crystal ball you have there fortune teller.
Look, I get it, you are all embarrassed because you spoke out against something when you didn't do ANY research AT ALL into the subject mater and now you are back pedaling with some predictions like you are a sooth sayer.
Look, En Masse and Blue hole both said they will have their BG's at high level because PVP i nthis game is balanced around team play, and around higher level play.
So before you look into your mystical crystal ball, read some articles, educate yourself.
Thanks.
I'm more interested to see how they can tie the battlegrounds or the guild vs guild wars to the vanarch system than the actual battlegrounds themselves.
It's a tricky subject because we don't really know the details under the implementation. Currently the game has no, so called, PvP gear and they don't seem to be needed.
Will En Masse give incentives to enter BGs despite having none for OWPvP or GvG?
Personally I'd love to see some cosmetic gear for those successful in PvP, but I fear that the crowd that comes from now mostly instanced content (WoW BGs, arenas, Rift BGs etc) will want to see gear upgrades.Beyond that however I wouldn't want to see any movement that would compromise the OWPvP in favour of instanced PvP content. The reason is obvious, there are games that are or will be doing such a structured content a lot better than Tera, while there isn't any mmorpg of this quality that is doing open world fractionless PvP at the moment.
